Grand Duchy: Let the People Speak

Apr 11, 2012, 3:00am PopMatters
Grand Duchy - Silver Boys
A handful of the numbers on Grand Duchy's second album, Let the People Speak , are fun and interesting, and the band's unique marriage of slick, synth-heavy electropop and dark folk-rock can be a happy one. We like it when families or lovers sing together. The Carter Family, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Oasis, the White Stripes, Handsome Furs, Arcade Fire - the real drama we read about, or the tension and passion we could just be imagining, can give the music a heightened sense of intimacy and intensity. Blood or romance can become guarantees of authentic connection [...]

Jan 21, 2012, 4:50pm Austin Town Hall
Sweet New Track from Grand Duchy While trolling the inbox and the internets for content to highlight in the first IT Dept. post of 2012, Nathan was kind enough to point me to this track. It gets its own post because it is awesome. Grand Duchy is Frank Black and his wife Violet Clark pulling a Handsome Furs . This is the first I have heard off of Let the People Speak , the forthcoming follow-up to Petite Fours . Due April 10th, the new album, in their words, is "definitely more about slamming it [...]

While there is no proper NYC show this time around, the band will be visiting the nearby Wellmont Theatre on [...]

Interview: Black Francis

Dec 21, 2010, 12:00pm Consequence Of Sound
Interview: Black Francis Black Francis / Frank Black /Charles Thompson IV is a man of many accomplishments. Whether it's fronting the Pixies , producing records for Art Brut, releasing solo albums, recording with his wife as Grand Duchy, running a sort-of record label, or whatever exciting new task tickles his fancy, Francis consistently proves his genius, both lyrically and musically. And his newest release, The Golem , is just another new form of that genius. Instead of putting out another stellar rock album, Francis put together music to accompany the 1920 silent film The Golem: How [...]

Petits Fours - Grand Duchy

Sep 3, 2010, 3:25am The Ripple Effect
Petits Fours - Grand Duchy Black Francis’s vocals have been called a lot of things, but in all likelihood, they have rarely if never been called: calming, heart-warming and comforting. And yet, 35 seconds into the opening track on Petits Fours , the delicate echoing keydoards creating a freefalling sonic landscape for the first 34, Black Francis and a telecaster start in, upsetting table and chairs and kicking over, with intent not volume, all the tables and chairs. And as a listener who had a healthy dose of Doolittle and Bossanova during my college years, [...]

Black Francis Wants Son to Appreciate Oral Sex Song From 'NonStopErotik'

Mar 30, 2010, 8:00am Spinner.com
Black Francis Wants Son to Appreciate Oral Sex Song From 'NonStopErotik' Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive The concepts of love and intimacy are prevalent throughout Black Francis ' sexually-charged new solo album, 'NonStopErotik.' Even the gentle, piano-based title track would make a sweet, tender love song, if you can get past its repeated "I want to be inside of you" refrain. But, as Francis tells Spinner, all that romance has nothing to do with Grand Duchy , his collaboration with wife Violet Clark . "The songs that get sexual when I'm [...]
